Chapter 208: Conflict of Interest

Things developed beyond Lu Bin's expectations, not all alpine dwarves like to deal with ores and furnaces, especially the tribesmen who have been integrated into human society, and are more willing to engage in their own jobs that they are interested in, which saves him a lot of tongue.

As for the dwarven elders led by Hardin Copperbeard, they believed that this was the credit of "Lord Rez", and continued to support Lu Bin in his position as "Lord of Ironforge Castle".

Having said that, having a human spellcaster serve as the lord of the mountain dwarves, even if he has extraordinary strength, seems to be a bit against tradition, if it weren't for the food and other daily necessities stuck in Lu Bin's hands, maybe the call for replacement has become the mainstream voice of Ironforge Castle

However, none of the elders wanted to see any of them make it to the top, especially Hardin Copperbeard, who had gone through many years of ups and downs, and was satisfied that he was now the chief elder, so to speak, as one man under ten thousand. In particular, the "Lord of Ironforge" above is basically just a mascot in name, not only will he not compete with him for power, but there are also common interests to share.

If the resentment of the clansmen due to the accumulation of daily work and life erupts, Hardin Copperbeard will try to involve the "lord" as much as possible, and after they have vented, he will adjust it slightly, which is a good governance that gains the support of the people, and it is also a shortcut to accumulating fame and prestige.

In this wonderful position, the elders, including Hardin Brastacle, were very satisfied with the arrangement. Of course, if they can find the bloodline of the dwarven royal family and continue the king's lineage, they will continue to do so, and no one will be allowed to destroy their position.

Lu Bin was slightly aware of this, but unfortunately he was an outsider after all, and he had no position to accuse the dwarven elders of corruption and depravity, he remembered his identity and took the oath of never interfering in the internal affairs of Ironforge Castle.

Of course, through the continuous growth of the half-plane of the Buried Bones, acting as an intermediary trader between the Iron Fort and the New Frontier Territory, with the exclusive right to operate, Lu Bin will never allow others to reach in, if someone dares to hand over the claws, he will let these arrogant and ignorant people taste what it is like to have a golden finger from a traverser.

Later, Lu Bin took the recent production of Ironforge Castle and returned to the new territory through the unmistakable teleportation technique to the lookout built on the city walls, and Aurelia the Windranger was still guarding the gate, she saw that the people gathered here, gradually gaining a foothold, and her loyalty to the "Guardian of Elondale" had climbed to the top.

Therefore, this half-elf girl doesn't give face to anyone, sticks to her position, and doesn't let anyone disturb "Lord Rez".

Lu Bin walked out of the lookout, first greeted the forehead of Orelia the Windranger to express his gratitude, and then asked her to leave to go about her own business.

Standing on the twenty-foot-high city wall, Lu Bin looked into the distance, inspecting the ground under his feet. The north bank of the Ruiwen River already has a rudimentary territory, and more than a hundred members of the Porter's Guild have poured in, and there is nothing but poverty, and there is already a new atmosphere. After they had eaten and drunk enough, they built a simple shelter for themselves according to the arrangements made in advance.

Stone bricks, logs and other materials were piled up everywhere, and many people were amazed by the majestic body of the quarry colossus, its fingernails were longer than ordinary people, and it was supposed to be sluggish due to the heavy body.

Reality gave them a slap in the face, the quarry colossus peeled off the strip-like stone pillars from the mountain, no more difficult than digging in the mud, its fingers were like sharp wheel saws, and the fingertips just swept slightly, and the stone pillars dozens of feet long would be divided into stone bricks of equal length.

The metal structure, which is only as tall as the chest of an ordinary person, will rush up later, and these "cut" building materials will be sorted and stacked nearby.

Therefore, if you want to build a house for yourself, no one will take special care of it, you can do it by yourself, or call three or five friends to build it together.

However, there was a slight problem when they chose the site. The prescient elven remnants fenced off entire settlements, forbidding members of the Porters' Guild to live next to them, and claiming that the land reserved for future arrivals blocked the way for others to interfere.

When Lu Bin saw this scene, he remembered a lot of unbearable past events, "There is a lot of spare land in the territory, and there is not only this one in the residential area, since the elven remnants want to close the door with other clans, why should you bother?"

The words of the "lord" were meaningful, and everyone tasted something according to their own ideas, and the members of the porters' guild took the initiative to choose to back down in order not to embarrass the "president", except for Nina Wild's brother, who just wanted to stir up trouble and show his existence.

Lu Bin glanced at it, turned around and left with his hands behind his back, the people who were willing to follow him accounted for the vast majority, people who didn't know whether they were alive or dead, who didn't know how to advance or retreat, after all, they were just individual examples.

Windranger Aurelia has gained the trust and recognition of her clan due to her "lord's value", and she vaguely knows the various driving forces behind the establishment of this territory, and she also knows that this is the only way for the remnants of the Elves of the North to integrate into mainstream society.

She knew that there was something in the words of "Lord Rez", but she didn't grasp the true meaning of it, so Orelia the Windranger looked around, threw a familiar look, and then chased after her, squeezing to the side of the "Lord".

The members of the porter's guild are also smart people, and they quickly disperse their busyness, giving the two of them enough private space, Lu Bin was not surprised by this, and just continued to move forward.

"Your Excellency, we ......"

Lu Bin waved his hand lightly: "It's not a big deal! Two ethnic groups who are not familiar with each other, if they can get along, I will feel strange." Not to mention, someone behind the scenes deliberately created an incident and took the opportunity to play a small trick that could not be put on the table. Rest assured, in the face of the rules I have made, even I myself must abide by them, and at this critical moment, I will not show favoritism. ”

Honoring the important promise, Aurelia the Windranger smiled with satisfaction, turned to wink at the familiar clansman, and made a rather obvious throat-slitting gesture with her right thumb at a hidden angle.

Nina Wild's brother relied on his identity to encourage the people who followed him, trying to storm and even push away the fence erected by the elven remnants, but unfortunately he miscalculated one thing, and what happened next was all beyond the original plan, like a minecart off the rails, driving towards the point of no return where no one knows the destination.

At the same time, when the elven remnants on their shifts noticed someone pushing the fence in an attempt to cross the line or even destroy it, most of them were a little overwhelmed and didn't know what to do.

Fortunately, Orelia the Windranger followed the "Lord" in time, received instructions from the relevant parties, and later used the secret gesture of the elves to convey the opinion of "Lord Rez" to ignore or deal with it impartially, and signaled the remaining clansmen to let it go.

This moment made the invisible restraints on the elven remnants come into contact in an instant, and the half-elves who are good at archery bent their bows and arrows, and in the blink of an eye, the sharp arrows turned into a forest, like a hedgehog with needles and hairs erected.

With the exception of Nina Wild's brother, all who followed him saw this scene, and the mortal threat of being targeted by the elves with arrows made the men who saw the wind and rudder immediately raise their hands and retreat, giving up their delusions.

When Lu Bin saw the first entourage "noble girl", the expression on her face was like an ant on a hot pot, she neither dared to come over to intercede in person, nor did she dare to dissuade her brother who didn't know whether she was alive or dead, and Lu Bin shook her head again and again.

Windranger Aurelia sighed in her heart, and turned her back to "Lord Rez" to send the second key gesture command to her people: Don't kill, light wound, lesson!

The elven remnants in the settlement immediately realized, anyway, the arrow was on the string, and the fingers were slightly loosened, and the taut bowstring would naturally shoot the arrow at a certain human.

"Do-do", the sudden sound of a rain hitting the plantains, and before Nina Wild's brother could react, a line of arrows shot the fence he was holding in his hand into a haystack.

"No......" Nina Wild's heart was broken, after all, that man was her brother, and he was shot by the elves on the spot for a trivial matter. She hated all the elven remnants, even the befriended Windranger Aurelia, and she didn't know how many curses she had cursed.

Nina Wild's brother, Lochner Wild, fell to the ground like a hero who had failed to challenge the dragon.
